Outstanding warmth ans clarity from this 1st stereo cutting. This copy has received infrequent play on good equipment and all tracks play cleanly with no audible wear or distractions.

Cover: EXCELLENT +

A superb example of this fragile cover with a glossy, flat & uncreased front leaf. All corners are square & unbumped and all edges are sharp and unfeathered. Both panels inside are unblemished and there is no damage to either end of the delicate hinge. the rear panel is as nice as the front and without any heavy ringwear. The spine is clean& perfectly worded with well-formed pinched ends.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
